We were a handful of queer and HIV-positive people with an activist agenda of zapping the powerful. Active from 1985 through 1987, the Mob's pinnacle of media and gay community attention was in February of 1987 at an HIV conference in Atlanta organized by the Centers for Disease Control. The ocial topic was whether patients entering hospitals should undergo mandatory testing for exposure to HIV, but that changed the night before the conference began when Mob members showed up at the cocktail Popular Stories in News party in crude, mock Nazi concentration camp shirts and hats with pink triangles. We also had literature to After 17 Months, distribute dismissing mandatory testing of anyone and demanding gay-positive HIV prevention messages and Grindr Lays O Sta programs from the CDC. of LGBTQ News Site It was no more AIDS business as usual and the Mob generated a feature in the New York Times about the new INTO anger in the homosexual community and previously private divisions becoming fodder for public discussion. On the conference's nal day, we zapped the press conference of the national gay and AIDS organizations Reports: 'Conversion' and leaders, and brought the CDC's last plenary session to an abrupt halt when we stood in front of the stage App Kicked O Apple, with our Lavender Hill Mob banner and hollered for expanded federal funds for treatment research. Did I Amazon Lingers on mention that CNN had two crews covering everything and our zaps were in heavy rotation on the station's Google Play Headline News every half hour? When we returned to New York, I received a phone call. Mutual of Omaha "I'm making an important speech next week at the gay community center about the AIDS plague. It will have Changes PrEP Policy a monumental impact and I want you there -- with ten of your friends. There are no excuses for your for Insurance absence," said Larry Kramer, the rst time we ever spoke. "Now, when can we have lunch and chat?" Applicants He was calling everyone to order them to be at his speech, which was hastily arranged when writer Nora Ephron, who was originally scheduled to speak at a regular forum at the community center but had the u, cancelled. Win Free Stu! If it's possible that Larry had even more than his usual high-dose of urgency pushing him in March 1987, it was because all of us scared shitless people on the frontlines were terried at all the disgurement and BOSTON, MA deaths engulng us with our own government refusing to give a damn. Tickets to see JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL in The All of us in the Mob, along with hundreds of others, were at the talk that changed the world for the better. Origin Of Love Tour on 3/2 at After Larry gave us his angry we-better-get-our-fucking-act-together speech and it was time for the audience the Shubert! :: Boston to pipe up, I made a short appeal for people to get arrested the following week at the Food and Drug Administration inspection bureau in Brooklyn over lack of safe and eective treatments. That idea was rejected, but many folks quickly followed I made a short appeal to get arrested...That idea with suggestions, criticisms, open hearts and minds ready was rejected, but I was quickly followed by many to start being publicly angry over AIDS, and ACT UP was folks with suggestions and criticisms and open born. hearts and minds ready to start being publicly angry over AIDS, and ACT UP was born. Fast forward to the present day and the recent unveiling of the trailer for "United in Anger: A History of ACT UP" documentary, co-directed by Sarah Schulman and Jim Hubbard, who were veterans of the group during its heyday. They've taken footage of their ACT UP Oral History Project interviews, and culled videos of key demonstrations and heated planning meetings to create this lm. I cannot recall the budget, but when I requested scal transparency from Sarah and Jim they immediately disclosed gures and funding sources. With as much objectivity as I can muster (given that I twice appear in the trailer and feel much pride seeing old demonstrations), while remembering our dead who appear full of life and anger, I nd the trailer is quite eective at providing great visuals of our protests. https://boston.edgemedianetwork.com/index.php?ch=news&sc=aids&sc3=&id=127987 1/3 1/19/2019 EDGE Boston, MA :: Let’s Talk HIV: "United in Anger" -- The ACT UP Doc I am curious about the documentary, and want to see how it measures up as an historical record of the awfulness and fabulousness that were the AIDS crisis and activism back then. Since I've not seen the other recent AIDS docs "We Were Here" and "30 Years From Here", I'll await the word of folks regarding how to best contextualize each of the lms. As a cineaste, I've often wondered where is our "Shoah", the nine-hour documentary about the Holocaust. It was presented without any historical photographs or Nazi propaganda lms that calmly delve into the machinations of rounding up the Jews, transporting them to concentration camps, and exterminating them. "Shoah" is an impossibly high standard, as both a political record and moral reconciliation and a work of profound cinematic art. No word yet on when "United in Anger" will make the festival circuit rounds or if it can score a distribution deal that would bring it to audiences in urban markets, but when it plays in San Francisco, I intend to be in the audience. To watch a trailer of the movie, visit http://vimeo.com/33185730 Michael Petrelis was diagnosed with AIDS in 1985 when he was living in New York City. He was an original co- founder of ACT UP, and credits the group and his activism with directly contributing to his surviving and thriving. Since 1995, he's lived in San Francisco where is happily partnered to his husbear of 15 years Michael Merrigan. When not agitating for social justice, he can be found watching foreign lms around the Bay Area. Be sure to check out his blog: http://mpetrelis.blogspot.com.

  • The Gay Revolution: the Story of the Struggle PDF Book
    THE GAY REVOLUTION: THE STORY OF THE STRUGGLE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Lillian Faderman | 798 pages | 22 Oct 2015 | SIMON & SCHUSTER | 9781451694116 | English | New York, United States The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle PDF Book The days of rage become years of struggle. In general, Faderman only pays periodic lip service to trans-led movements in the same cursory way she only pays lip service to radical movements altogether. I know from my own perspective as a life-long lesbian activist, it was my finding these organizations as a teenager that led me to my own activism. But, in a stunning disconnect, lawmakers and the medical doctors who influenced them preferred to insist that people who engaged in such acts comprised a tiny distinct group, different from the rest of humanity. The inspiring history told in this book testifies to the truth of Margaret Mead's famous words: 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. We need to be mad. In her prologue, Faderman starts with Johnson and ends with the ceremony to bestow the rank of brigadier general two stars to Army Colonel Tammy Smith. Family Values. It treats so many of the important, but lesser-known moments in this history and brings to life the many players that have made the movement successful as well as highlighting some of the failures in instructive ways. Anisfield- Wolf Book Award. While the history was fascinating, by the time I got near the end I was missing a sense of what it was actually like to live as a gay person in each of the eras she described.

You made your bed. Now lie in it.' I. INTRODUCTION "Outing" is the forced exposure of a person's same-sex orientation. While techniques used to achieve this end vary,2 the most visible examples of outing are employed by gay activists in publications such as The Advocate or OutWeek,4 where ostensibly, names are published to advance a rights agenda. Outing is not, however, confined to fringe media. The mainstream press has joined the fray, immortalizing in print "the love[r] that dare[s] not speak its name."' The rules of outing have changed since its national emergence in the early 1990s. As recently as March of 1995, the media forced a relatively unknown person from the closet.6 The polemic engendered by outing * Associate Professor of Law, University of Oklahoma College of Law.

  • "Another Kind of Love: a Performance of Prosthetic Politics". Debra Levine
    1 "Another Kind of Love: A Performance of Prosthetic Politics". Debra Levine There is a force within society that cannot be contained. Call it Queer Theory. Clearly no one could have predicted the visual representation of this theory. ---- Ray Navarro, 1990 What has happened is that there is no longer a supportive gay community with peer relations that support the necessity of keeping up safe-sex practices. Instead, many gay men meet other men for sex only on the Internet. When I speak with younger friends now, gay men who are having a lot of sex with people that they meet over the Internet or at clubs, I find that they almost never get tested, rarely talk about safe sex, rarely consciously think or talk about HIV at all. ...We have lost the strong sense of community around HIV discussion and activism that kept the issue front and center. For gay men, this is very dangerous. ----- Douglas Crimp, 2003 I presented the first version of this paper December 12, 2004 in Mexico City, at a conference sponsored by Enkidu Magazine entitled "AIDS and Culture." The day I spoke, no more than twenty people attended any of the panels, including my fellow panelists. The topics included shamanic performance, homoerotic photography and safe sex lectures at orgies. As the day progressed, none of the panelists acknowledged the issue I found most shocking. Most presenters (gay, male and under thirty) identified themselves as HIV-positive. How could this happen now, in a cohort of intellectually engaged cultural scholars who have access to HIV prevention information and healthcare options? At the question-and-answer period after my panel, the "erotic" photographer, a man in his early forties, stood up, turned to the rest of the audience and exhorted them to attend to my narrative.
